BRONZE Champs Food Drive

·         The HEAT swim team will be holding a canned food drive during Bronze Champs on February 27, 2011. 

Donated food items will go to The Emergency Assistance Center food bank located in Northfield, OH. This year’s goal is to collect more food items than the weight of all the coaches! That’s 1,348 pounds! To do this we ask every swimmer to bring at least 4 items to practice with them.

 Collection bins will be at the pool from February 14th to the 26th.
